you have to plug your phone in and select "disk drive" as the usb mode and then right click the sd card, and go to Format

There are many articles on this forum as well as others online that give you the break down step by step, try searching, it may help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iedible23:
I just tried to install the ota and it says installation aborted. will I brick if I try again or what should I do? My sd card is formated to fat32
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iedible23:
please help or point me to a thread or post that can help me. I don't want a brick.

Edit

When the ota fails it says something about signature varification failure
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rekanpwnsall:
im having same problem it fails im scared to try again this sucks!!!!!if someone can give any input.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rekanpwnsall:
i figured what were doing wrong when you rename the file dont rename to update.zip just rename to update and the .zip is included in its extention
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iedible23:
yeah I got confused. Thanks. I figured it out through youtube.

Not sure why this is a problem. I have reverted my HBOOT twice. Did it last night as the original leak had to many bugs and was driving me crazy. I was running 2.2 leak with radio 2, now im on 2.1 with radio 1.

This has been documented well. This link http://androidforums.com/all-things...16-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html

gives very good instructions.

The only real warning on the original post, as if it shouldnt be implied, is "IF YOU CANT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS, DONT DO ANY OF THIS AND BE HAPPY WITH YOUR PHONE AS-IS"

I may try this though.

This cracks me up. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hfulbri1:
Okay, I just read through thirty pages of scattered information with one person saying one thing and another saying another. Some people said the official was about to come and some say an easier method was about to be released that wouldn't require unrooting and the other steps, so my question is, has an easier way been released yet or a later ota or do I still need to follow the directions on the first page step by step? Thanks

when I apply the PB31IMG, works fine. do everything, reboot boots fine. then reboot and start the STOCK recovery and I get a picture of the phone and a RED triangle. What happened?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sucker4pa1n:
Nope, I think it's a matter of semantics. It's not even midnight for some parts of the US (ie. CA), and even for people like me on the east coast, the OTA would still be coming tomorrow as for me (even at 0223) it's Thursday night, not Friday morning. If that makes sense. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
RUU if anyone needs it.

http://www.4shared.com/file/LLx3IXNt/PB31IMG.html
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Imaulle:
I tried to RUU with this but I get the wrong image or no image... any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ezy1022:
are you .77 or .79
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
It will work with either version, but only via hboot. You have to let it scan through until it finds it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
In case anyone didn't notice, wireless-N is now enabled.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Imaulle:
i've rebooted and gone back into the hboot thing about 20 times it keeps saying wrong image or no image :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Can you give me an md5 of your copy I will compare it with mine.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Imaulle:
okay think I got it...

I had to remove the drivers from the unrevoked tool, install htc sync, then I ran

RUU_IncredibleC_Verizon_WWE_1.22.605.2_Radio_1.00.03.04.06_hboot_0.79_release_161494_NoDriver_0514

it's going slowly but I think it will work???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
I dont see why not. If it doesnt, simply extract the rom.zip from it, rename it to PB31IMG.zip and go from there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Imaulle:
okay sweet it worked! back to stock
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
So this is just an idea I was thinking about--is it possible to isolate the radio update from the RUU and then flash it via update.zip method with clockwork? We did something similar with the Moto Droid. This would allow us to downgrade.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spartan141:
Damn 720p is very tempting right now. But i think im going to wait and see what the official ota version is going to be first.

Don't want to do something i might regret later.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alnova1:
Believe me, if the 720 video isn't any better than the Evo's, its not worth doing it now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
I can attest--its not any better. Good quality, if you like slideshows.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alnova1:
Thats what I was afraid of...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] athenslb57:
I think I am going to hold off for now since I'm not really gaining anything. I already have wireless N and the 720p doesn't look any better from what I here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pmazz850:
Does the new radio improve signal or call quality at all?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
Does the new radio affect bt? !
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ksizzle9:
So does the RUU flash the stock recovery? And do i install htc sync? and uninstall unrevoked tool? If someone would kindly answer these 3 questions it would b greatly appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rushless:
This should be cut and dry for non-rooted devices. If the file is signed, it will install to non-rooted devices and would mean this is the official update.

On the other hand, if it only installs to rooted Incs, it is NOT the official release and probably a leaked update for test devices- that all have "HTC" instead of "Verizon" on the front.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cameron_S:
I'm pretty sure this OTA will only correctly install on a non rooted device.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeaton313:
I think i messed up i installed everything right got it working with the new ota and got root back but i didn't back it up with nandroid and i restored another back up and lost everything what do i need to get everything back with the ota .
[Droid Incredible Android Development] money226:
When I get to stock recovery all I get is the red triangle and no option to apply update.zip anyone have an answer for that?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tcberg2010:
After I get root back will I retain the radio when I flash to a new rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] michaelnhf:
yes you will retain the radio, but before you flash to a new rom can u make a nandroid backup and post it up for us.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] michaelnhf:
I think it is volume up + power button and it should let you go into the stock console.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] money226:
Thank you very much. I've done this stuff a million times but had a brain freeze.

I'm having the same problem, I have flashed back to stock but can't for the life of me figure out how to install the OTA file.

I have it on my SD Card and renamed to update.zip. But Like you, when I boot into recovery all I get is the black triangle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] gadget!:
I have read every post in this thread (including the one above) before I posted this.

Unless my inc is different from everyone else's, it's the volume down and power button to get into stock recovery. But once I get there all I see is the black screen with the red triangle.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] michaelnhf:
when you see that hit volume up + power button, that's what we were talking about in posts 50 and 51
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
You use this method (from a few posts up) to get to the stock console (once within the red triangle area) and apply the update.zip from there
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gadget!:
Thank you very much!

That was the part I didn't understand. It's working now :)

Thanks you both.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] michaelnhf:
NP man, i know i have asked this from a few people but can you post a nandroid back up right after you do the ota with or without root is fine
[Droid Incredible Android Development] skaterA223:
I'm just wondering. Is it possible to to get someones nandroid and do a back up? That's how the stock Rom is from the incredible roms website from unrevoked
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
If you get somebodys nandroid backup it will restore everything they have. Someone from unrevoked put up a stock rooted rom that was cleared out with basically no information on it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] skaterA223:
I Know how it works, but what I'm saying is can't we get a nandroid from the new ota and restore that on are phones?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ghostrida:
nandroid won't flash new radio. so no.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] michaelnhf:
I would like this as well, I decided to restore a pre new ota nandroid back up after doing the ota. and without backing up, i know i'm an f'in idiot. So now all i have is the new radio no 720p. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] skaterA223:
Isn't their a way to flash the new radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
do we know for a fact that once we install this update we will or we will NOT be able to install the vzw update? I am not rooted fyi.

hmmm...wouldn't let me post a link
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
As much as I like to be the first to test and install things, I think I'm going to hold off on updating until the official OTA is out, and devs can patch it into something usable on rooted phones. I just don't see anything I must have in flashing this, while possibly losing the ability to flash an official ota.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JTCGiants56:
Apparently the official OTA is coming out today (the 16th) so there is really no need to use the version posted here. I know for one that I am going to do a nandroid back, download and install the OTA on my root incredible, and if it breaks root, I'm going to try re-rooting my phone with the unrevoked program. If that does not work in getting me root back then I'm just going to load back up the nandroid backup I just made and wait for the unrevoked team to make a patch for the new OTA.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
i thought rooted phone with custom recovery cant install OTA update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yojoe600:
it cant you must unroot first then re-root
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Can you even get the OTA on a rooted Stock OS. I didnt think you could. And if you did, wouldnt it re-write the recovery section so you wouldnt be able to use NANDROID anyway?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
So say I wanted to 'unroot', what would i do to go back to a state where i could install the OTA, and what if my phone never sees the OTA, is there a place i can manually download it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] outsid0r:
i have done the whole process 720p is great, only issue as of now is tryign to add my FB through the HTC Sense, everything else including ROOT IS A GO!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] The_Law2:
Can anyone confirm this? I would love to try this update, but no way I'm going to be stuck waiting on VZW to release a full new RUU.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tcberg2010:
Not gonna get to try til tonight when I get off work, still might not do it due to chance of them changing radio before official release, don't want to screw myself over down the road. If I decide to go for I'll post the backup I create, no problem.

Not sent from an iPhone.

Android for Life!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Well, for what its worth, it worked for me, quite well. As with anything in life, your mileage may vary. Either way, the radio version has nothing to do with it. The only way a VZW update would be blocked in the future is if they downgraded the HBOOT.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bmwhartgeM3:
I get the red triangle and when I hit up and power i get verifying update package then e:failed to open sdcard update.zip (no such file or directory) signature verification failed installation aborted??? any ideas of what to try next? I tried re downloading the file again from media file and same thing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bradm23:
So for the people who did this, how is the new radio working compared to the old one? Any hard tests done yet?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] michaelnhf:
I successfully reverted using adrynalyne's method that he posted
[Droid Incredible Android Development] b00sted:
for some reason no matter if the zip is on internal or sd i cant get it to downgrade. jsut says it cant find it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] obsidianblackhawk:
okay call me retarded. I cannot get my phone to unroot to save my life. Everytime i reboot it says it can't find the image or it's wrong.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] b00sted:
it requires card to be formatted as fat32. then it works ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] obsidianblackhawk:
so i need to reformat the sdcard to fat32 then and then move the image over is what your saying?

yea try reformatting or you can try this or both

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] melophat:
This.. Any improvement in signal/reception.. and not just more bars, but actual db reception number improvements.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gladesmellzgood:
The radio didn't really improve the reception for me but the ROM runs faster and there are some improvements over all to some programs like messaging. I'm really pissed though some apps have disappeared on the Android market though. I reverted back to the original Rom too and the apps were there. So it must be an issue with this Rom update. Apps I can't find are docs to go premium, astro pro, and some others. If anyone knows a fix for it please help.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] therippa:
So I'm confused...

I just rooted yesterday, and haven't applied this OTA update.

If I want to receive the OTA update from Verizon, what exactly do I need to downgrade to? Or should I just wait for the unrevoked team to release a new firmware image based of the OTA?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jola66:
Question about the Radio. Why would people be willing to download and update using this file if you can not get any future Radio updates? Stated in post 1, it says you wont be able to. Am I missing something?

Are you POSITVE??? I usually have a pretty good grasp of what is going on, but I must admit; I AM LOST. Can someone make a cliff notes/OTA What now for dummies?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Positive?

110%. I posted a way to revert back to an older ROM AND radio using an RUU. I made damn sure it worked before I posted :)

Considering you MUST use an RUU to accept any future OTA either now or later, its not really that big of a difference. Just a small extra step.

To give some history, I bought the whole radio rigmarole. So I started experimenting. I made an update.zip type flash for the radio (older version), which clockwork could not flash. It said it did, but it never stuck. So I tried to flash a ROM i cooked from the RUU to see if that would work. It got so far as to format everything and then errored out. I messed up on the script. So I had a paperweight and decided I was determined to fix it. So I started looking deeper into the issue and found out that it was actually the HBOOT version that was the problem. While it is .79, its newer than our latest leaked RUU. Running the RUU actually gives you this information, that the bootloader is stopping the update.

So I started looking around on the web, and found others with this problem. In turn I found a method for fixing it, as well as a mtd0.img creator, which fools the phones/RUU into thinking it doesn't have a newer bootloader.

This in turn, allows you to overwrite everything again with an RUU. I tried it myself and low and behold, I was back where I started. Is it safe? Probably not, but since when do we ever play it safe? I mean its a leaked ota FFS :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tcberg2010:
I created one and might post it, but I don't think this will do anything if u r looking for an easy way to get the radio, if I'm correct, flashing a Rom does nothing to the radio. Correct me if I'm wrong and I'll upload it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lamusician:
Camera/Wifi/Everything disabled

Installed this update to my rooted w/ unrevoked3.0 phone.

Booted up fine, but then discovered that the camera/video rec didn't work even though I now saw the 720p option.

Also, Wifi stopped working as well as the hotspot. Panicked before seeing what else wasn't working so I just restored from the backup i made with nandroid backup.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Hence the reason you cannot install this on a rooted phone. You NEED the radio and firmware update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] intersysx:

Ok, lets see if this bricked my phone. As I am tired of searching google for the past 4 hours, maybe someone can help.

Phone: Dinc

Rooted dinc last night using Unrevoked 3.0 worked fine.

Found a rom I liked: Ozzeh Rom after playing with Froyo, I went with clean, simple, and fast. Phone worked fine.

Followed your instructions, after 3 hours of reading to understand what I was doing, and attempts, formatted the SD car Fat 32, unroot worked.

Did everything step by step per your instructions.... Stuck on HTC Boot screen.

More reading, adb shell, reading, shell, reading......

Come to find out, my Cache, Data, sd-ext partitions/directories are screwed. More reading, attempts at repairing, deleting, rebuilding, reading, it goes on. Tried just about everything. Cant go stock, cant re-root, cant do anything.

So, I am at that point, the phone is holding down my electric bill.

Is there a way, to just nuke the 8GB media in the phone via command line, somehow force it to just rewrite everything?, cause I cant do anything in recovery, advanced menus, cant go back, cant go forward. Now, I am going to try this again, but with my wifes phone.......pray it goes well, the couch sucks. meantime, any help guys?.
